and were fortunate to have some excellent dry days
for painting last week. Temperatures were in the high
40's low 50's with one day reaching 64 in the sun.
The great thing about Sherwin Williams' Duration is its
ability to cure at low temperatures (2C). This enables
a sound adhesion to the surface and proper film
development to the coating. Sometimes, cold weather
painting is preferable to hot and windy conditions, because
the paint has more time to "wet" the surface and longer
dry times lead to better penetrating and adhesion, without
unsightly lap marks.
We generally conclude exterior painting by November 1st knowing
full well we could still see an Indian Summer period of temps in
the high 60's-low 70's in late October.
